Spraying has now come to be an established part of the 

 work of fruit-growing. L. H. BAILEY. 



The time is now ripe for the declaration that profitable 

 apple culture demands systematic spraying. FREDERICK D. 

 CHESTER. 



Spray! Spray! Spray! Spray for insects and for fun- 

 gous diseases. This is one of the secrets of successful fruit- 

 growing. DELAWARE FARM AND HOME. 



/ believe in spraying, for I have tried and proven it. In 

 many portions of our country to-day it is just as much a 

 necessity as is under draining, or fertilizing, or killing potato- 

 bugs. MORTIMER WHITEHEAD. 



The spray pump might well be adopted as the emblem 

 of the fruit grower, and on it be inscribed that old legend: 

 By this sign we conquer. HON E. L. SMITH, Oregon. 



Out of thirty-six tons of grapes last season I did not lose 

 five pounds by rot, but I shall spray, rot or no rot. Spraying 

 adds greatly to the health of the vines, and consequently to 

 the size and beauty of the fruit. JOHN BURROUGHS. 



// should be remembered that in all cases success is 

 dependent upon the exercise of proper judgment in making 

 applications. Know the enemy to be destroyed; know the 

 remedies that arc most effective; and, finally, apply, them at 

 the proper season. Be prompt, thorough and persistent. 

 Knowledge and good judgment are more necessary to success 

 than any definite rules. E. G. LODEMAN.
